On Tomcat 5.0.28, JDK 1.4.2, JSTL 1.1, this JSP:

<%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt"%>
<fmt:formatNumber value="165000.0" type="currency"
                  currencySymbol="$" maxFractionDigits="0" />

give me this output:

$165,000

The first time, and every time beyond that. There's something else
going on in your setup. I can't say based on the information we have.
